“I said we’re never going to need all this, so I thought I could have a garage sale and have the money go to the scholarship fund, and (Audrey) said ‘Go for it,’” Roberta said.

The fabrics are priced to sell, too. A grocery store bag full of smaller pieces - good for quilting - will go for $20. Bolt prices will run $2 to $10 a metre.

“There are some fabrics that (would normally sell) for $30 to $50 a metre,” Roberta said.

Sewers and crafters with their own stockpiles of materials are also welcome to offer up their wares for sale. Tables at the fabric sale can be rented for $30, with rental proceeds also going to the scholarship fund.

The fabric sale happens Aug. 23 and 24 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day in Thistle 141.
